Unemployed in Vermont Can Get a Free Room at the Inn

Two free nights at a country bed-and-breakfast won't solve your financial problems if you're out of a job, but it will be a short respite from them, as about a dozen unemployed workers have discovered at a Vermont inn.

The owners of the Rabbit Hill Inn in Lower Waterford, Vt., are extending what they call the Pink Slip Getaway Giveaways for 2011. The room giveaway started in 2009, although sometimes rooms were not given away during the inn's peak season of September through November. (They have to make a living too, you know). It was intended to only last six months. But the recession raged on, and the owners decided to extend the popular giveaway.
